consider

Xu Xi stood there waiting for a few seconds. Seeing that Chen Shuning didn't respond, she didn't know if she was embarrassed by what she said or if she was really considering it. She pinched her palms and thought that they couldn't just stand there like this. So she said to Chen Shuning:

"Maybe you think it's a little sudden. But I think that we've been getting along for the past few days and our lifestyles are quite compatible. I don't know if you have any intentions in that regard. If you don't like girls, you can tell me directly. I won't cause you any trouble."

Xu Xi thought that after she finished speaking, there might not be any future between the two of them. After all, Chen Shuning hesitated for so long. This was likely because she might not like girls. Of course, there was also a possibility that Chen Shuning did not like girls like her.

She waited for a few seconds and saw that Chen Shuning had gradually lowered his head. Xu Xi sighed in her heart and had already come to a conclusion of her own: her idea of ​​pursuing Chen Shuning would probably stop at this time today.

But then again, failing to pursue someone the first time was probably normal. Those smooth coincidences before were probably just because Chen Shuning was kind and easygoing, and because he had too many thoughts, which led to this "self-righteous" misunderstanding.

Xu Xi felt a little disappointed, and she began to think of some appropriate words to withdraw from the situation. Although it was regrettable, she couldn't do the thing of clinging to someone when she knew they didn't accept her.

That's it.

However, before she could think of any appropriate words, she heard a voice echoing in the quiet air.

Chen Shuning said to her, "Two girls together face a lot of pressure. Have you thought it through?"

There was no direct refusal, nor was there a direct agreement.

Xu Xi looked up blankly. She knew this would be stressful, but it was far less stressful than what she had to endure before her rebirth. Before her rebirth, no one would ever know the secrets she kept hidden within her heart, and she would never find a lover. Ultimately, she lost herself in the numbing grind of studying and working. Now, she had discovered that there were so many fun, delicious, and delicious things in this world waiting for her to enjoy.

She clenched her palms, her voice clear and audible. "I've thought clearly. I'm also trying to minimize the difficulties, but it will take some time."

She needs some time to convince her parents and to arrange the house she needs for life.

Chen Shuning raised her head slightly. This matter did come a little suddenly. She had been chasing Xu Xi for so many years, but she had never thought about what it would be like to be together one day. She had always rejected all arrangements made by her family, but she had not made any plans for her future. Xu Xi needed some time, and she also needed some time. Accepting her was of course what she wanted in her heart, but how they should be together still needed to be carefully and carefully thought out. There were too many external factors that influenced them, and they could not decide everything based on a few words now.

Besides, her family was putting a lot of pressure on her. Even her sister, who had protected her at the beginning, had taken her car away.

She breathed in and out gently. "I understand. You can go back first."

Xu Xi blinked. Is this something she needs to consider? So she wasn't rejected?

With a confused mood, they finally decided to go back and give each other some time to think about it.

"Then I'll go back first. You can call me if you have anything."

"good."

After a simple goodbye, Xu Xi found her car, got in and left.

Xu Xi found the real estate agent and went with them to look at houses, but she was completely distracted and had no interest in the whole process. Finally, she told the real estate agent that she wanted to find a top-floor apartment as she had thought before, and then she left. She asked the real estate agent to help her look for a house first, and then go to see it if there was one.

She returned to her small rental house, wanting to take a nap, catch up on some sleep, and relax, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried tossing and turning.

Xu Xi took out her cell phone in frustration and called Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu's voice on the other end was drowsy, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Hey, why are you calling me?"

"You haven't woken up yet?"

"I'm awake now." Xiao Mu sat up from the quilt and raised his hand to scratch his messy hair. "What's the matter?"

Xu Xi stared at the ceiling in silence for a long time, trying to recall the words she had said to Chen Shuning when they parted today. It wasn't until Xiao Mu urged her to speak on the phone that he came back to his senses.

Xiao Mu: "If you don't say anything, I'll hang up. I have a lot of things to do today."

Xu Xi quickly spoke: "Don't hang up yet, I just have something I can't figure out, and I want to ask you."
